Mark's original list adds the stipulation of a movie from each decade, but I think I'm going to add the stipulation for myself that each movie must be from a different director, otherwise I'm gonna end up with like four Rivette movies lmao*
*Gonna make an exception for The Human Condition and gonna try and watch the whole trilogy as one since I have the Arrow Academy Blu-Ray
